Vis Medicatrix Naturae
The Healing Power of Nature

Have you considered the possibility that your body can heal itself?
The first medical doctor, Hippocrates, referred to a power within the body that was responsible for healing. This was referred to as the “Healing Power of Nature” or the Vis Medicatrix Naturae. As a physician, Hippocrates felt the role of doctors was to assist the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. In that time, doctors like Hippocrates did this by providing the body with the nutrition it needed to regenerate and by removing the obstacles that prevented the body from cure. The doctors of that era believed Nature was both the physician and the healer of the disease. This perspective was the basis of the movement “Nature Cure,” a holistic approach based on nutrition and detoxification. How different was this approach taken by our first medical doctors compared to our medical model of today?

Today, billions of dollars are spent in medical research seeking that miracle drug that will cure a specific disease. Science looks to the intricate aspects of a single gene that can be altered or the single chemical that can be synthesized to cure the diseases it studies. Through these efforts, science has become so focused on the minute components of disease, it has lost sight of the original premise upon which Hippocrates founded medicine: Vis Medicatrix Naturae. We forget that all around us Nature continues to regenerate and replenish itself. We forget that our body is also a part of this circle of life and it too has the same natural healing capacity; if we provide it what it needs.

In searching to find “the cure”, science proves repeatedly what your grandmother’s grandmother knew all along: you can’t improve on Nature. We hear a breaking news flash that science finally proves that being active is good for your heart or antioxidants from plants protect against cancer or sunshine is important for strong bones. Science has taken millennia to “prove” basic concepts that have always been true in Nature; concepts which have always been beneficial for the body.

Somehow, somewhere, your great-great-grandmother’s common-sense was lost among all this scientific jargon. “Harold, eat your veggies, and drink your water, and get up and move your bottom off the bench, and get some sun, and have fun, and don’t sweat the small stuff, and do unto others as you’d have done unto you!” Why don’t we follow the sound advice of our forefathers? Our own medical establishment acknowledges Hippocrates as the Father of Medicine but doesn’t follow his teachings: Nature Cures.

Even the ancient biblical texts indicate that despite progressive technology and new discoveries nothing is really “new”. Everything that is “discovered” has always been here ready to be acknowledged; it just needed someone to desire the knowledge enough to seek the answer.

“There is no new thing under the sun.”
“All knowledge is presently with us, all answers are here for us to be enlightened. Just ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.”

Clearly these words have been around for thousands of years and yet we continue to look for answers to questions that have already been answered for us.

Every answer for our healing is here in front of us if we just pay attention and become aware. Nature beckons us to open our eyes and our ears and observe so that the answers may unfold. Nature is just waiting for the observant few to notice. You do not need to wait any longer for science to prove what Nature is clearly showing you.

This book will guide and teach you how to minimize the main contributors of disease by following Nature’s healing path. It will explain how the causes of illness can be attributed to one or more of the following:
